Bloomberg News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs shot back at the news outlet on Monday after she was fired for allegedly breaking embargo on a story about the recent Russian prisoner swap.
Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait disciplined several employees this week, including Jacobs, for “clear violation of the editorial standards,” after they allegedly broke an embargo on the news of the prisoner swap, which resulted in Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s release from Russian captivity.
In a statement on Monday, however, Jacobs fired back at management and suggested that she had been scapegoated over the incident.
